In addition to offering their open head coaching position to Jerry Sloan on Wednesday and getting denied, word has now surfaced that the Blazers were also going after Phil Jackson for several months before being told he wasn't interested.

According to Adrian Wojnarowski, a league source has confirmed that the Dallas Mavericks successfully claimed Elton Brand off amnesty waivers on Friday.
Details are coming in that the winning bid for Brand was $2.1 million, which is much lower than expected. In addition to officially grabbing Brand, the Mavericks are said to be on the verge of also signing free agent center Chris Kaman. If Kaman does, in fact, sign with Dallas, Brand will back up both Dirk Nowitzki and Kaman in the Mavericks' front court. Brand will also be a nice insurance policy if Dallas somehow ends up not being able to get the Kaman deal done.

I don't think that will happen because sessions is clearly better. Kemba is not a starter. He is a Nate robbinson type player. Just energy guy off the bench.

Good deal by the bobcats. They should try and claim Brendan Heywood and they will have, while not a good team but one that is much much better than last year.

He was intstrumental for the Nuggets in the playoffs. We all know Mcgee doesnt have the IQ but you can't teach size and athleticism and he has it at 7 feet. The guy is a physical nightmare with those long arms like Anthony Davis. Mcgee was a solid move for Nene.
